Hmmm, sounds like a good night for the redneck fireplace ;)
Of course that isn't likely the sort of thing you want to run unattended.
And thinking about it another way. If your house is that well insulated, it is tight. Not the best place to use unvented gas heaters, certainly not for long periods.

No wouldn't run that heater over night while we are asleep

Plus need the central system running to have that heat loss in the crawl
space for the water pipes

Bastardize: "transitive verb. 1 : to reduce from a higher to a lower state or condition : debase. 2 : to declare or prove to be a bastard. 3 : to modify especially by introducing discordant or disparate elements." from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bastardize

Didn't realize it was such an "unknown" expression... :hu

Oh I bet it is!!!!

We don't usually get REALLY humid weather but we never get anywhere near that. Just did a quick search. Lowest average for Burlington is in May at 61%. June 65%, July 66%, August 69%. I don't know that a swamp cooler would make us feel cooler!

Well, it is just my 2 cents, but I wouldn't pay that 2 cents for one; especially Here. The cool air isn't cool enough and the warm air is worse than a blow dryer for the hair. It is just a waste of $$ here.

So my bastard/bastardized heat pump is 2 years old
It is 14 Seer
It's not a split system you can get those 16 seer
But some of the older ones were 10 seer
It's going to be 0 degrees tonight
I wonder if I set on 70 can it do it
Maybe
I think the house is insulated well so we will see

It got down to 3 degrees at our house last night.
Temp stayed at 70 and seems no issues with the water pipes.
